Iran has told Israel through the UN that it will intervene if the country’s operations against Hamas in Gaza continue, a report has claimed.

Israel has warned 1.1 million people living in the north of the enclave to evacuate ahead of an expected ground operation in Gaza with the IDF planning to strike the territory from land, sea and air.

Iran’s involvement could be through a militant group from Syria or by backing Hezbollah to join the conflict, diplomatic sources told Axios.

Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said that Israel’s operations could cause fighting to expand to other areas of the Middle East which would cause Israel to suffer “a huge earthquake”, reported the Associated Press.

        If it’s good enough for elected US representatives, it’s good enough for me.

          They were talking about ethics, something an elected official would know nothing about.

            Yeah but they answered their own question. If it’s lucrative, it’s unethical.

        The true answer is unequivocally yes. Fuck everyone who says otherwise trying to justify this ghoulish shit.

        I would argue the whole system is unethical. Capitalism has never bothered itself with ethics. That said, it’s arguably even more unethical.

        Ethics are a social construct and are subjective. Thus - irrelevant.

        Not really, people have a right to defend themselves, and security is a human right.

            Well, what in the hell are you supposed to defend yourself with if no one makes weapons!? What kind of fucking logic is that?

              That’s not what I’m saying tho? You’re twisting my words.

              I’m not saying no one should make weapons. I’m saying no one should be able to make lots of money by exploiting the suffering of others (which is in this case, war).

      So you expect that at some point in the future of mankind, there will be a period with no active conflict and weapons snuggling? 😂 my sweet child…

          There’s always a lot of weapons snuggling going on in the US.

          Elsewhere… It varies, but typically, not so much.

        From a Sci-Fi show about dyson spheres and habitats: “Where man goes, war will follow.” Made me sad, because I guess it’s true.

        As soon as we can learn to share resources and land.

          I wish… Archeology shows, that people have been killing people since before proper tribes where formed. Call me a pessimist, but i don’t see a future where we truly learn to life peacefully.
